contact with the pads when turning and was abviously being worn in an unven way. After the discovery of the play in the rotor and bolting the axle nut (225 ft-lb + locklite), the play is gone, but the clunking/scratching (not grinding ->bearing) between the rotor and the pads when turning has even increased.
Besides the an unvenly worn rotor, the caliper maybe getting lazy and is not retracting as it should.
The noise can be ambarassing when turning (low speed) ...
Thanks!
